This approach allows us to monitor for any issues and ensure a smooth and stable deployment.** ### Nothing OS 3.0 This update transitions you to the official release of Nothing OS 3.0, powered by Android 15. Full of exciting new features and improvements to enhance your everyday experience. Here's what's in store: **Shared Widgets** 🔮 Use widgets to link up with friends and family. See another person's widgets displayed on your home screen and interact with each other through reactions. A new way to stay connected. Shared Widgets are currently only supported between Nothing devices. And only Photo Widgets (square) can be shared. We are rapidly developing support for other widgets, so stay tuned! Notes: As Shared Widgets are in beta, you might encounter some issues. We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance your experience. **Lock screen** 🔒 Introduced new lock screen customisation page. Access by long-pressing the lock screen or via the Customisation page. 🕰️ Choose from a range of new Clock face styles. 🖼️ Expanded widget space, allowing you to place more widgets on your lock screen. **New app drawer style** 🤖 Added AI-powered Smart Drawer to automatically categorise your apps into folders, keeping your app drawer organised and making apps easy to find. 📌 Now you can pin your favourite apps to the top of the app drawer for quick access to your favourite apps. **Enhanced pop-up view** 📱 Drag the pop-up view to any position on the screen, for convenient multitasking. 📐 Easily resize the pop-up view by dragging the bottom corners. 📍 Pin the pop-up view on the screen edge, for speedy access. 🔔 Swipe down incoming notifications to enter the pop-up view. Allows you to quickly view information without leaving your current app. Enable via Settings > Special features > Pop-up view. **Elevated design** 🧩 Redesigned Quick Settings, and an optimised editing experience. Allows you to effortlessly tailor your shortcuts to your preferences. 🖼️ Redesigned widget library. Choose your favourite Nothing Widgets or swipe left to browse third-party widgets. 🎨 Enhanced Settings with updated UI visuals. Network & Internet and Bluetooth options now display current connection. 👆 New Dot animation for fingerprint unlocking and charging. **Other improvements** 🤖 Allow AI to learn your usage habits and prioritise your frequently used apps. Keeps them active for longer intelligently for a smoother and more efficient experience. 🔋 Improved the lock screen charging status display to help you easily know the charging speed at a glance. 🗃️ Added support for auto-archive function. Automatically frees up storage space without removing apps or data from your device. 🖥️ New partial screen sharing, so you can record just an app window rather than the entire screen. 🚀 Updated setup wizard to version 3.0 for a smoother introduction. ⬅️ Enabled predictive back animations for apps that have opted in. 🛡️ Update Security Patch to December. **Notes:** During the upgrade, the system will optimise in the background to enhance your user experience. The device may experience temporary overheating and increased power consumption, but will quickly return to normal after the upgrade is complete

After reading all these I’m afraid to upgrade to OS 3.0

This is a new big I have seen in the nothing phone where some of the icons just don’t animated right and generally alot of the icons lag a lot and feel choppy ,very choppy , even after several restarts the phone keeps lagging in a lot of aspects like clearing apps , opening an app and several others

I implore the nothing team to please work on the nothing os and fix these issues

Hi community!

Hello Community,

I have updated the OS to 3.0 and it’s running smoothly but Im experiencing the sound of the mobile is too low while taking a call or listening to the music the speaker out is very low after the update. could you please suggest me what to do? It’s very unpleasant for me sometimes I missing my calls also due to the speaker volume even though it’s in high volume.

Since the last update in my Nothing phone 2a, I am getting delayed notifications in almost every app. Like sometimes my phone is in idle mode, and I will receive some notifications together, and I will check that the notifications came actually 10, 15 mins ago. Sometime in gmail and instagram I won’t get any notifications but after opening that app I will get all of the notifications together. This is seriously hampering my work as I use work apps in my phone. Please look into it.

Dear support team,

I recently updated my Nothing Phone (2a) with the latest software update, which includes the June security patch and some additional features.

After the update, I’ve been facing battery-related issues:

The phone shows “rapidly charging”, but it takes longer than usual to fully charge.

Battery drains significantly faster, especially when the phone is kept idle.

This behavior was not observed before the update.

Please advise on possible troubleshooting steps or let me know if a fix is planned in an upcoming patch.
